Mares Milk. The topic that’s floating around the health industry at the moment. So, what is it? And, do you need to introduce it into your everyday life? This blog post will explain everything you need to know about this new and emerging health trend.

What is Mares Milk?

As a cow’s milk alternative, mares milk has been drawn from a female horse. It is secreted during lactation and originally created to feed newborn foals. Similar to breast milk, it has a host of benefits that ensure a baby horse grows up strong and healthy. And, for many of these reasons, it has become the new hot topic health alternative out there.

What are the main benefits of Mares Milk?

Horse milk is rich in a number of proteins, fatty acids and vitamins. It is an entirely organic product with potassium, iron, calcium and phosphorous derived naturally. Some of the main health benefits noted:
